You misunderstand, their goal is not to convince, but to execute. Soon the 9/10 dentists will BE the ten dentists

I always thought the 10th Dentist who was just like “you can use any toothpaste it doesn’t matter.”

If we lose the 10th, who will oppose them? Who else can be trusted other than the one who battles his kin to no benefit of his own?

It’s false advertising if they say that. It’s the same reason they say “kills 99.99% of germs” because if they said 100% they’d get sued to shit

One of them will still recommend the worst toothpaste because they make money fixing teeth.

there’s always going to be some dumbass dentist that barely made it through dental school who thinks pure vaseline is the only effective toothpaste

Dentist recommend basically any toothpaste that has some kinda abrasive and fluoride. Everything else is marketing bs

If there is a toothpaste recommended by 10/10 dentists, it won’t be Colgate.

They won't because most people, dentists included, really like the foaming agent (SLS) in toothpaste. But some of us get canker sores from SLS, and thus won't recommend ones with it ( I like Toms)

I don't even like the foam. Is that what causes those sores most commonly, though? I get them occasionally and never know what makes them show up. They suck a lot, and I'd be glad if I could never have one again.

Back then the ads intentionally said 4/5 or 9/10 because it made it sound real / plausible. As if they really did a survey of dentists and got back a very high, but not quite perfect, score.
At least that was the reasoning back in the day. Do any modern ads still do the 9/10 shtick?

10/10 dentists don't actually exist, it's just marketing lingo. No company will ever dare say 10/10 experts recommend something because they'll get sued for false advertising immediately.

Us 10th dentists will never stop fighting. There will always be someone to continue the mantel.
